Background: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a leading cause of premature death in patients with schizophrenia. CHD risk in Lebanese patients with schizophrenia remains unknown. Objectives: To (i) evaluate CHD risk of patients with schizophrenia in Lebanon; and (ii) detect the modifiable and non-modifiable factors affecting this risk. Methods: Cross-sectional study of 329 patients with schizophrenia aged 18–75 years. Ten-year hard CHD risk was calculated using the Framingham Risk Score. A logistic regression was conducted taking the dichotomous hard CHD (<10% and ≥10%) as the dependent variable. Results: Ten-year hard CHD risk was low (<10%) in 60.8% of patients, intermediate (10–20%) in 31.6%, and high (>20%) in 7.6%. Multivariate analysis ...
